Matlock Season 2: The Shocking Truth – Is It Coming Sooner Than You Think?

by

As the final episodes of CBS’s revival of Matlock air in the U.S., it’s natural for viewers to contemplate what lies ahead, given that several plotlines remain unresolved.

The courtroom series centers around former attorney Madeline Kingston, portrayed by Kathy Bates, who re-enters the professional world with the aim of seeking justice following the tragic demise of her child.

In my fictional world, I’ve adopted the pseudonym “Matlock,” inspired by the classic TV show from the ’80s and ’90s that shares the same name. This character is part of the narrative in our modern series.

Has the current series been well-received by audiences, who find themselves captivated by the fresh legal drama and Bates’s acting skills? However, there remains uncertainty about whether it will come back for another season and, if it does, when we can expect its return.

Read on for everything you need to know about Matlock season 2.

Will there be a Matlock season 2?

As a dedicated film enthusiast, I can confidently say that my excitement for “Matlock” was validated when, following only two episodes aired in the U.S., it received an official renewal for season 2! This move by CBS speaks volumes about their faith in the show.

Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment expressed in a statement: “Jennie Snyder Urman has crafted a fresh take on Matlock with an unexpected plot twist that left us amazed. And when we watched the initial episode, brought to life by the exceptionally gifted Kathy Bates, we instantly knew we had something truly unique.

The response from both the audience and critics toward it has been incredibly positive. We’re eagerly looking forward to diving into the production of a new season.

Recently, in March 2025, the executive producer, Kat Coiro, hinted that the series might continue for an extended period, implying that additional seasons may potentially be developed as well.

Regarding the ongoing storylines, she shared with Collider: “I can assure you that there’s still much to unravel. In essence, the show unfolds gradually, not revealing everything at once. Each week, it’s not about a single large event, but rather it delves into psychologically intricate themes, which will continue for many years.

When will Matlock season 2 be released?

While we can’t definitively say when Matlock season 2 will premiere, considering the first season debuted in September 2024 on CBS in the U.S., it seems likely that a new season might return around the same time in 2025.

In the United Kingdom, the initial season debuted on Sky Witness and NOW around November; hence, UK enthusiasts may find themselves waiting deeper into the year yet again for season 2.

I’ll be sure to share any updates on the release date of Matlock Season 2 as they become available. Stay tuned!

Who from the Matlock cast will return for season 2?

As a fervent fan, I’m eagerly anticipating that the principal cast of Matlock season 2 will remain unchanged. That means Kathy Bates, our leading lady in the title role, will be returning alongside talented actors like Skye P Marshall and Jason Ritter. Here’s to hoping for another fantastic season!

As a dedicated film enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the returning cast of Matlock in its upcoming season 2. Here’s a rundown of the principal actors who graced our screens in season 1 and will undoubtedly reprise their roles next time around:

  • Kathy Bates as Madeline Matlock
  • Skye P Marshall as Olympia Lawrence
